Let’s start with the fact that it is yet another example of Mitt Romney’s pathological lying about himself and his past. If he can’t be honest about anything, even something as simple as his employment history, what kind of President will he be? And the real reason he’s so afraid of admitting he ran Bain from 1999 to 2002? Stericycle - a company he invested in that disposed of waste from abortion clinics - a fact that would alienate his already dwindling base.

Except running the Olympics was a full time job. He had much of his investments tied into Bain, and he wasn’t going to go from CEO to cashing out in a short period of time. Winding down a lead person’s involvement in the day to day is pretty common. Think of Bill Gates—it took a long time for him to wind down his involvement at the helm of that company. He still owns the lion’s share of the company, but nobody would say he is responsible for management decisions of the company anymore.
